Tlie Might Blooming Cereus.
The above plant is very rare in this
country and it is not often that our
people get a chance to see one. By
cordial invitation, on Thursday night
of last week, a large crowd assembled
at the residence of Judge J. D. Ham
mack to witness the opening of two
different varieties of the night bloom¬
ing cereus. They were very pretty,
indeed, being the size of a saucer or a
small plate, and of a waxen appear¬
ance. It was fully open by midnight
and began closing as the morning drew
near. The aroma peculiar to this
flower filled the air with sweetness,
and the occasion was one well enjoy¬
ed by the guests. Due variety of the
cereus had six buds cn it and one
bloomed every night in succession un¬
til all opened.
